Knelson Lead Zinc Separation
Research and application of a Knelson concentrator: A review
The KC is essentially a vertical axis bowl-type centrifugal concentrator that uses a fluidized bed to concentrate the dense material over a wide size range (0.02–0.850 mm), which is composed of a feed and discharge system, separation system, power system, and water supply system (Koppalkar, 2009).
